Agile Requirements In Depth

Agile
development shifts traditional requirements work to a "just in time" approach.
How does this affect good requirements practices? This class explains Agile
approaches to traditional requirements sources including MRDs, PRDs, feature
lists, and user scenarios. It dives into techniques for developing requirements
on Agile projects, including the Agile Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), using
story mapping to define the scope of the project, writing user stories, sizing
stories (agile estimation), and developing acceptance criteria for user
stories. Concepts are illustrated through extensive use of hands-on
labs.
